A canonical referencer is an unambiguous referencer that is intended to be a primary referencer to a referent.
- AKA: Ground Truth, Unambiguous Reference.
- Context:
- It can be a Canonical Record (likely a Curated Record), such as an Ontology Record.
- It can be a member of a Canonical Record Set.
- It can be used in a Reference Grounding Task.
- It can be produced by a Canonicalization Task.
- It can be in a Semantic Equivalence Relation with a Referencer (such as a Concept Mention).
- It can be a Canonical Record (likely a Curated Record), such as an Ontology Record.
- Example(s):
- a Canonical Record, such as an Entity Record, such a SwissProt Record.
- an Ontology Node.
- the (official) Christian Bible.
- a Canonical Bibliographic Citation.

- Counter-Example(s):

- QUOTE: Such a reference pair <x, v> is said to be canonical if x is the longest one. Hereafter, we identify a canonical reference pair x, v with the corresponding node of the pattern trie, if no confusion occurs.

- QUOTE: A reference pair is canonical if [math]\displaystyle{ s }[/math] is the closest ancestor of [math]\displaystyle{ r }[/math] (and hence, [math]\displaystyle{ w }[/math] is shortest possible). For an explicit [math]\displaystyle{ r }[/math] the canonical reference pair obviously is (r, a).

- NOTE: It uses the term “canonical reference” to refer to a curated record (to distinguish from a closer representation of the true referent).
- QUOTE: The first flaw, then, is the failure of lexicographers to bring the etymology consistently back to the form which actually underlies the word rather than to some canonical reference form, such as the infinitive of verbs or the nominative and genitive singular of nouns or adjectives.
